Guillermo del Toro says in this time of rage and division in the world, the only thing that can save us is a dialogue with the darker parts of ourselves. In this extended interview, the Oscar-winning director talks to CBC's Eli Glasner about the dark forces that can shape a child, his personal journey to mend, and how it inspired his new adaptation of Pinocchio.

"The most thrilling thing for a kid and parent, is dialogue, far more than an outing" - Guillermo del Toro

The shape of water is what made this man one of my all-time favorite directors. If you haven't seen it yet, do it. It's such a beautiful shot film.

An amazing insight into his creative process but he was clearly deflecting the question about his father which is a shame Ida like to hear what his relationship with his father is since me and my dad arent too close.

I think his answer was actually kind of interesting. He said that both his parents have too much scope of meaning for him to even describe. There's a few facts we know about, i.e. Del Toro's father won the lottery when his son was very young, which in part enabled him to experiment with film as a boy. Also that his father was kidnapped due to his son's fame, and after paying the enormous ransom fee they all had to immigrate permanently for their safety. Just in those two stories there's a lot to speculate about. But I think his answer is more universal: whether your parents were good or bad forces in your life, or most likely a mixture, they are "unencompassable" with facts and descriptions.

Disney to me meant a luscious Sunday night pot roast. It meant Bugs Bunny hour. It was TV night you pined for with Mary Tyler Moore, Happy days and if lucky, even a bit of Benny Hill. Now Disney evokes Sheriff Grady Judd and Desantis forced to protect ____. See what I mean? Its like Hollywood took a machete to my childhood memories.

Your memories are still in tact. You just have new memories of modern Disney and they don't align with your childhood innocence. Happens to everyone

instead of reshaping our thinking, Hollywood, Disney, and game developers aka the entertainment industry should take the steps to remove contents that glorify drugs, violence and killings, and that erode social morality which is already at the low point. Entertainment is to provide a positive messages and uplift people. How many criminals will watch Pinocchio.

@nem0763 Жыл бұрын

If you watch violent media as a kid, as I did, but your parent shows boredom and contempt for it, you will grow up internalizing and feeling that same response. If you also watch media, as I did, that probes difficult moral questions with humanity, and your parent is engaged by it, you will grow up oriented in the same way. It isn't important to give a child only one kind of entertainment, but rather to give them everything, and while doing so to carefully build their powers of discernment and their recognition of goodness and value.
